What's for Breakfast? The Terminator

I've actually been looking forward to this since I left Syracuse. I first saw the Terminator on The Food Network's "Outrageous Foods" and it was outrageous. The Terminator is a 24" pancake made with 1 gallon of batter. This pancake is so big they don't have a plate big enough to serve it on, so they use a pizza pan. As if that isn't enough, they pile on 4 eggs, 6 sausage patties, a pound of Bacon (yes, 1 lbs.), 2 pounds of home fried Potatoes, and Toast. Then they have the nerve to offer for an additional charge to add bananas or blueberries to the pancake. I skipped the extra fruit. I wanted nothing but carbs and cholesterol in my breakfast. If ordering and eating this isn't embarrassing enough, the waitress yells "clear the way, Terminator coming through" all the way across the dining room. After all was said and done, 437 people have tried to finish the Terminator, and still, no one has.

NASA has announced that the shuttle will not launch before May 8th. I need to be back in Syracuse on the 8th. So no shuttle launch for me.

After my Battle with the terminator I decided to head for Key West. I arrived at 3pm with no reservations, and no clue what to expect. I found a hotel a few blocks from the beach and a few blocks from several bars and restaurants. I'm going to hang out here tomorrow, maybe rent a scooter for the day (seems to be the best way to get around). Then head back up the west coast of Florida on Tuesday.

Multitasking

While I was eating dinner I saw this guy outside the restaurant waiting for the light to change to green, eating a burger with one hand, and talking on the phone with the other. A true multitasker. Speaking of dinner, I found a seafood restaurant in Key West!!! I ordered the Summer Seafood Pasta (Finally, some pasta, as if I needed more carbs today), a mix of shrimp and dolphin over a bed of fettuccini with a garlic, white wine and butter sauce. I'm stuffed... Again.
